MercerHacks








About our Hackathon

MercerHacks is a hackathon co-hosted by CS Remastered and the WWP Education Foundation. Participants will have 24 hours to communicate and work on their project with their team, with the opportunity to participate in numerous workshops and mini-events along the way. Once projects are finished, contestants will submit them for judging. A team of judges will analyze projects based on metrics such as neatness, creativity, and implementation. Interesting prizes will be awarded to winners. At the end of the day, participants be leaving the hackathon with technical experience, new friends, and the feeling of fulfillment.
